THIS is an honor!♥️
Training the two people who taught me how to walk, how to swim, how to ride my bike, how to live🥲 (my parents)
Having them here every 5am fills my heart. But it also brings me peace. Movement is medicine (both for the body and for the mind).
Physically, this improves strength, endurance, balance and flexibility. But did you also know that exercise can ease the pain of arthritic joints and increase mobility? Regular exercise helps maintain healthy blood sugar and lipid levels as we age and helps us maintain a healthy body fat level. Regular exercise will help your aging parent get better quality and quantity of sleep.
Mentally, regular exercise has been shown to improve mood, even decreasing anxiety and depression symptoms as effectively as medications do in some individuals. Aerobic exercise improves memory and executive function such as planning and problem solving.
Please help me cheer them on👇🏼🥰 (they read my posts and comments).
